Autumnal

Autumn has come
To Southern California,
The wind is chilly but only
In comparison to summer.
The sun shines as bright
Though morning clouds
Hang around our bed
Room window until
The sunshine
Peeks out,
Scents
Of
Flowers
Shrubs and
Trees fill the air.
We wait for winter’s
Intrusion preceded by
Santa Anna winds to
Blow sand from
Which we will
Hide inside
Sheltering
For a few
Days.
I say we
As we are a
Couple of friends
In for a penny in
For a pound.
What more
Can one
Hope
For in the
Autumnal time
Of life,
Companionship
Is an under
Rated
Source of warmth
When autumn
Winds blow
Chill.
Of
Course,
There is always
Chilli nachos
And hot
Salsa.
